There is nothing

like a Super Bowl victory. Just ask the 85-pound Peachtree City Packers.

The team traveled

to Alpharetta last weekend to face one of its county rivals, the Brooks

Bears, for all the marbles. The Packers won 12-0 and remain undefeated

on the season.

The Packers

scored two touchdowns, one in the first quarter from Kevin O'Brien and

one in the fourth quarter from Zach Copeland. They made it into the Bears

red zone several other times but couldn't score, partly because of the

wet weather. The Packers' running game was again successful thanks to

their offensive line, especially with a solid performance from Taylor

Stevens.

The team also

played outstanding defense, holding Brooks to one first down in the game.

Chris Liebe led the defense with 10 tackles, while Casey Wilson and John

Propst also performed well defensively.

"We dominated

the game," said Coach David Dean. "We had a good game plan and

we stuck to it." The Packers also benefitted from five blocked punts

in Saturday's game.

The Packers'

season isn't over yet. They will travel to Gatlinburg this weekend with

the 75-pound Packers for a Thanksgiving tournament. The team plans to

stick together next year as well, playing in the 95-pound division.
